Bio:
SIGGRAPH 1999
Richard Szeliski is a Senior Researcher in the Vision Technology Group at Microsoft Research, where he is pursuing research in 3-D computer vision, video scene analysis, and image-based rendering. His current focus is on constructing photorealistic 3-D scene models from multiple images and video, and on automatically parsing video for editing and retrieval applications. Dr. Szeliski has published over 60 research papers in computer vision, computer graphics, medical imaging, neural nets, and parallel numerical algorithms, as well as a book, Bayesian Modeling of Uncertainty in Low-Level Vision. He is a member of the Association of Computing Machinery, the Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers, and Sigma Xi. He served as co-organizer of the first Workshop on Image-Based Modeling and Rendering, and is currently an Associate Editor of the IEEE Transactions on Pattern Analysis and Machine Intelligence.
